INDONESIA, ASIA – Billabong and Magic Wave continue to work together throughout this year in creating an amazing surf league for all the young surfer grommets under 14 living in bali. The Magic Wave Billabong Grommet Series 2012 is on every last Sunday of the month during the dry season.
Sunday 27th May 2012 was the second event of the series and continued at Kuta Beach’s famous spot Half- way, Bali. Though the waves were smaller compared to last month’s event it was still perfect for these little grommets. At 8 o’clock everyone held hands in the pray circle blessing of all the contestants for a fun, safe and success-ful contest. More than excited to get in the water, blessing the day was a great kick start. All these grommets must have been practicing for the last few weeks as you can definitely see how they have improved and become a little more comfortable competing against their friends. Throughout the day the waves stayed quite small but rippable, the crowd was still so energetic cheering for their friends in the water. Even the kids were having fun with the snakes they had available for photos also available was a free health clinic where locals, tourists and contestants can have a free health checkup.
Iuri Filippini Borba from Indosurflife.com says “I really wanted to film the kids surfing but ended up filming the kids on the beach because I loved what I saw there.” Julika, Billabongs new junior girl team member and leading winner in the series tells us about what she thinks of the contest and how she thinks it is good for the surf community
“For me the contest is great for surfing and the kids can get a good insight from the contest and the surfing community, it is very good for the future and our surf generation.” We are so thrilled that all the kids had participated once again but of course there has to be a winner and they are.
